[Spoilers pre-ch.5]

In a world where young boys are forced to have a sex change when there's a decrease in the female population, a male highschool student named Miyoshi Kyousuke found his best friend, Mamiya Nao, had gone under this "emergence."

Sounds pretty decent, something possibly "slice-of-life" like, to deal with a theme like that. But, no, this is absolute trash. If I could give a zero rating, I would.

The story makes me so angry, I had to drop it. It's the typical back and forth of a shoujo manga, where they deny their feelings and whatnot until a good amount of chapters pass. The only good aspect in it is that there's a dominant female love interest which is uncommon in shoujo. I don't mind that as much as I mind the fact the author does not know how transgender women work. The story is full of stereotypical aspects of gender and cliche moments. It's like they heard a little bit on them once and then made up how the rest of it works. It had so much potential, but it's as if the author slapped together dot pointed ideas and didn't expand on it.

It starts off normally, and Mamiya faints one day, before being hospitalized for two weeks and suddenly, he's a hot, long haired babe. Now, I'd be okay if the setting was something futuristic, or fantasy based, but it isn't. It's ridiculous as he's turned into a beautiful, petite girl in the span of two weeks, and it's strange as they performed surgery on all of his body rather than his chest and lower regions. It's like his conscious was put into another body, not that he, himself, had changed. The worst part is that his best friend begins falling for him a few days after- Not in the span of months or years- A few days. Once his best friend is some beautiful, hot girl, Miyoshi doesn't think about the morals of the circumstances- He just straight up falls for Mamiya.

They don't even explain the moral or social views on this "emergence" besides this one time that the girls in their grade come up to tell Mamiya to stop acting the way he is around the boys now he's a girl, and that "emergence" is disgusting even though it's part of their world. I don't think the author looked into or thought about much with the gender change.

Mamiya wears a revealing swimsuit and nothing is wrong with his body. No scars, nothing. Yet, despite trans women being unable to have periods unless they have a uterus implanted, he has one. Which is strange because you'd think they want to help women and the birth rate, so why would anyone take a uterus and put it in someone else? Another problem is that women are automatically weaker than men, which is really sexist for a shoujo manga. Marketing a shoujo manga and making it sexist like that is really stupid. To add to that, somehow, Mamiya is weaker than when he was a boy, like as if they rid him of any muscle (Probably to put into his boobs).

Being the perfect woman, he is automatically viewed to the guys as a way to gain sexual access, with no moral understanding or concept to it. They try to jump him to add to the list of cliches in the manga.

Moving on. The art is decent. There's nothing great about it, but there's nothing really bad about it either. It gets a bit unnatural at points, but it's not taking away from the manga, although I feel that the author doesn't know how to draw other poses besides some generic things you'd see in another shoujo manga.

Characters. Oh, boy. There's nothing good about them. The character development tries to exist, but if it does, I have a hard time to see it all the time throughout the manga.

Miyoshi is straight up a plain guy. There's nothing good about him. He's boring and has a phobia of females because some girl rejected him in 2nd grade. This makes him a bit uncomfortable around Mamiya, but not as much because he's his best friend... just a girl now. He starts getting indecent thoughts about the attractive new body of his best friend and falls for that, not for Mamiya himself. He then goes back and forth with jealousy and pretending he doesn't like him, and everyone keeps asking if they're dating now he's a girl. Although Mamiya and his antics cause Miyoshi to quickly get used to some of the girls and somehow become popular among them, it's a fast development that doesn't even get much light as most people would think he could talk to girls normally before they even mention that.

Mamiya, on the other hand, is a boy who toughs things even when it's hard and won't let other people see him vulnerable and upset. It's somehow more appealing when he's a girl. He at first is seen as a cool and collected person, even after the sex change, and eventually his distress about being changed without his consent comes to light, before suddenly disappearing in the next chapter. He is immediately accustomed to being a woman, and acts like his usual self among his guy friends. He drops his guard and it's always Miyoshi to come to the rescue before any of them jump Mamiya. Yet, Mamiya, who was a boy and had the mind of a boy earlier in the manga had disappeared to become a separate character, a more feminine one, who also falls for Miyoshi just because he comforts him in his time of need. He's dominant in some scenes, even going as far to sexually assault Miyoshi, but it's okay because it's not his boy self anymore.

I just didn't overall enjoy this manga. It was poorly constructed, as if the author just needed another manga out in order to earn money. Honestly, I don't know how this got popular enough to get past the first volume. It's as if the author wanted to make a shounen-ai/yaoi series, but was too embarrassed and made this instead.

It's just terrible, and I would not recommend anyone to read unless they want to feel as if they got cancer.
